Chandogya

The Chandogya Upanishad is notable for its lilting metric structure, its mention of ancient cultural elements such as musical instruments, and embedded philosophical premises that later served as foundation for Vedanta schools.

Third Khanda

Then the rays of the sun in the west are the western honey-cells (of the beehive). The Sāma mantras are the bees, and the Sāma Veda is the flower. The water (from the sacrifice, such as the soma juice and other things) is the nectar (of the flower).

Those Sāma mantras stimulated the Sāma Veda. Out of that Sāma Veda so stimulated came fame, vitality, the power of the organs, energy, and the essence of food.

All this (fame, etc.,) spread out to the sun and took shelter there. It is this that gives rise to the black spots in the sun.
